German Tabloid Posts Kate Middleton’s Bare Bum, So Get Ready For The Royal Luftballons Jokes

We’re pretty big fans of Catherine Duchess of Cambridge around these parts. Aside from her having the most steal-worthy style in all the UK and taking adorable photobombs with strangers, she just seems like an overall snazzy person. That’s why it is so disappointing how frequently people seem to want to take and post her naked pictures all over the world. First, there were the topless sunbathing photos; now, there’s the Seven Year Itch-esque pictures taken on a windy day and posted on the website of a German tabloid.

Bild.de posted pictures of Kate’s butt after her skirt blew up in the breeze coming off the helicopter she and Prince William got out of while visiting the Blue Mountains in Australia this past April. The tabloid obtained the photos after British magazines and newspapers refused to sell them, therefore resulting in a “frantic bidding war, selling for an unknown price,” because apparently it is a big secret that she has a butt and wind makes dresses go woosh! Ready for the predictably creepy way the tabloid described the pics?

Photos show our favorite Duchess Kate, 32, in the Australian Blue Mountains. The rotor blades of the royal helicopter swirl the air so that Kate’s summer dress blew up — giving a clear view of her beautiful bum!

Ugh. I’m getting the heebie jeebies just looking at that caption.

According to Page Six, the “photographs have sparked online debates about why Kate doesn’t wear weights in her hems like the Queen to avoid future wardrobe mishaps.” Can it instead just spark online debates about why Kate shouldn’t have to put weights in her dress to avoid getting photographed whenever her skirt flies up? I can see why she would perhaps want to do that on the red carpet or if she were at an event, but she was literally just traveling. C’mon. Give her skirt and butt a break, please.

Of course, it’s only a matter of time before royal douche Donald Trump tries to get a little “she only has herself to blame” quote in this story once more.

No one should ever have to be worried that they will be photographed when something like that happens. Ever. It is DISGUSTING. The caption just makes it even more sickening.

That said, weighted hems arent a big deal. Hell I do them to my skirts to be on the safe side. And if you are someone in the public eye I can totally see why you would want that in all your dresses and skirts. She shouldnt have to do anything and people should not be perverts, but it is always an option.

Totally not as bad but this happened to me coming off an elevator in vegas once. I wasn’t photographed but I’ve had nightmares about it ever since. At least at the time, like Kate, I did have a beautiful bum. If this happened to me now it would be a different story…. :)

I’m surprised she doesn’t wear anything under her skirts…seems risky for someone who is photographed getting on and off of airplanes!

We don’t know that she wasn’t wearing “anything.” Could be some really high cut undies or a thong. Not sure that it matters though, it’s pretty tasteless to snap a photo of someone’s skirt blowing up.

smhmommy

I definitely agree, I just am surprised since she knows she is photographed so much and this has happened to her before. It stinks, but you think she would be prepared.

I can’t read German, but I’m pretty sure the headline to the article about this should be called Butts, Butts, Butts!

Google Chrome translated it to, “Thank you for this horny ass weekend” so…yeah.

Kate has been advised to use hem weights. But the real question is, why is her butt naked underneath that dress? Or is wearing thongs really appropriate on that occasion? This is not the first time it happened, remember the yellow dress? geez Kate…

What’s intriguing is the sense of entitlement by the royal family that Bild magazine take down these photos- but why? They were taken legally, in a public domain, the royals themselves had sanctioned the existence of press and photographers to document their public relations exercise and now they are up in arms and demanding that the media erase ‘non preferred images’ of them? When is the royal family going to come to terms with the fact that they are not above the media, and even if the photos themselves are tasteless, it is part of the landscape of getting one’s image out there- surely the media can’t be asked to only publish what is palatable and favorable to the royals and various celebs….(which by defacto the royals have become) ?

Many of us would be embarrassed for what we are ‘endowed’ with to be on show –
but at least Kate is fortunate to have great ‘assets’ for such an unfortunate experience!
I think the media is WRONG in this instance – — to post a photo of the future Queen of England in a situation which would be difficult to avoid! She certainly wasn’t trying to show herself – - – as some of our celebrities do.
I think it is wrong for the media to post such photos of the future Queen or anyone for that matter!!!

A) People need to stop going on about hem weights. Hem weights might not actually fix this problem. They would have to be pretty damn heavy to work despite the considerable updraft created by the helicopter blades (this isn’t a problem people typically have, after all) and at that point they would completely distort the line of the fabric of Kate’s dress.
The Queen has weights sewn into her dresses and skirts, but it also helps that she favors a slim silhouette that fits closer to the body. She also wears much heavier fabrics.

B) Instead of jumping to the conclusion that Kate isn’t wearing any underwear, we might want to consider that she might be wearing a nude thong, or nude Brazilian-cut panties, or, most shocking of all, that she is a human being whose knickers do occasionally creep up into her arse crack.

I’m really not a fan of the Royal family, but let’s be honest- this is really not a big deal. In a mature society we would nod our heads in sympathy for a slightly embarrassing moment and move on.
